Summary
A Massachusetts woman, Han Lee, has pleaded guilty to operating a high-end brothel network that catered to wealthy and prominent clients, including politicians and corporate executives. She faces significant prison time for charges related to conspiracy and money laundering, as well as for persuading women to engage in prostitution.
Lee’s guilty plea comes amid a broader investigation into a sex ring that allegedly operated out of various apartment complexes in Massachusetts and Virginia since at least 2020. Prosecutors claim that clients paid between $350 to $600 per hour for encounters with women advertised on websites posing as photography services. While Lee admitted to running the illegal business, she emphasized that the women involved were not coerced into sex work. The case has drawn attention to the potential involvement of high-profile clients, with authorities seeking state-level charges against 28 alleged customers. The ongoing legal proceedings also raise questions about the transparency of the judicial process in handling such cases.
